An excerpt from the WaPo's Monica Hesse's review of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson's book "Enough":
... “Enough” reads as deeply sincere, but a cynic might wonder how much of Hutchinson’s truth-telling at that famous hearing was due to a crisis of conscience and how much of it might have been a desire to safeguard her reputation now that she was no longer part of the host organism.
I cannot count the number of times, during the Trump administration, that I looked at the young women surrounding him — the Hope Hickses and Alyssa Farahs and Sarah Matthewses — and wondered what in God’s name they were doing there. John F. Kelly, Mark Meadows, you could understand. They must have decided they could either steady the ship or party on down with it — and if the latter happened, hey, they had their entire careers in the rearview mirror. But when you’re a 20-something woman, what about Trump’s mangy persona or misogynist tendencies made you decide to serve at the pleasure of this president?
What, indeed, except a willful blindness to the corruption and moral morass that has always been part of the Malignant Loser's brand. At some point, the calculation changed, the truth came out, and good on Hutchinson for that.
